Goes out to pringing soon. [10:11] Looking good. [10:12] jenda: You draw that? [10:12] nope [10:12] Would love to say I did, but no, HanZo did. [10:13] I came up with the competition for the best design. [10:13] that's a very nice looking competition, jenda! [10:13] great work! :) [10:13] thx [10:13] I can't WAIT to see those on paper. [10:14] or on tall buildingsides [10:14] muhehe [10:17] I actually find myself having trouble promoting switching to linux, though. [10:17] I don't want to lie to people. [10:17] yarr mateys [10:17] midterms are over, paper was just finished [10:17] I think [10:17] That's very correct of you, BHSPitLappy :) it wouldn't do any good anyway. [10:17] And I can't just say, "This probably won't work for you right. But please, consider changing your life around it" [10:17] after some sleep [10:18] will throw myself at marketing [10:18] I wanna go crazy for edgy release [10:18] marketing blitz [10:18] lol [10:18] muhehe [10:18] paint the town brown! [10:18] poningru: I think you'll need posters. [10:18] YEAH [10:19] see I wanna get all the loco teams to send out EPKs to as many media outlets as possible [10:19] jenda, think you could help me try to find a local (to me) company that can make foily case stickers like I've been wanting? [10:19] I could do a bulk order and distribute [10:19] but I don't even know where to begin looking for someone who can make these things [10:19] BHSPitLappy: That'd be really great. [10:20] BHSPitLappy: where do you live? [10:20] It's all in the printers :) [10:20] DFW area, texas [10:20] DFW? :) [10:20] I don't really see the marketing value in the stickers very much, I just want one for myself. [10:21] BHSPitLappy: there is none. [10:21] when you think about it, stickers are just for existing users. [10:21] It was a proof of concept batch. [10:21] Very exact thinking. [10:21] swag for existing users isn't a bad thing, though :) [10:21] DFW = Dallas / Fort Worth [10:22] aha, ok [10:28] BHSPitLappy: See if this is any help... http://www.printaccess.com/main/piamidam/index_G.html [10:29] And this could help too... http://www.printcities.com/printing_companies_directo.htm === yama_ [n=yama@ppp12-60.lns2.syd7.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [10:29] BHSPitLappy: What I did was that i wrote a polite email asking about the options on stickers etc. and sent it to about five printers. Only two responded, and I chose one. === yama_ [n=yama@ppp12-60.lns2.syd7.internode.on.net] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["kthnxbye!"] [10:29] Choose one that values their customer :) [10:30] And be prepared to order 1000 stickers. [10:30] I already sold 1000, and now I have 500 more - it doesn't seem to be a problem. [10:31] well, this is going to be more difficult. [10:31] I want one that looks as good as the windows sticker on this thing [10:32] Yes, everyone knows what they look like. You can ask the printer if they can make it look like the windows stikcer.... [10:32] I suppose they could make 500 if 1000 seems too much to you, but it won't be cheap. [10:32] You will still probably be even able to make a profit. [10:34] I would try to sell a chunk of them to you :P [10:35] it's too bad I don't work in shipping anymore [10:35] god wtf is up with canonical taking forever to make announcement [10:35] I've got to be off to bed, gnight [10:35] nn guys [10:35] what announcement [10:36] good night === rjian[O-U-T] [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:16] gaah cannot sleep === Mitch_ [i=fwuser@208.243.85.3] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:33] poningru: yay, do something for Ubuntu in the meantime :) [11:33] reminds me... gotta-get-off-the-comp and go to school :) [11:34] zzzz === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === mindspin_ [n=mindspin@p54B27E44.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === mindspin [n=mindspin@p54B27E44.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["Konversation] === mdke_ [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === MenZa [n=menza@unaffiliated/menza] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian is now known as rjian[out] === MagicFab [n=magicfab@192.206.28.62] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === milosevic is away: @ work [... :) lqmL :* **] === MagicFab [n=magicfab@192.206.28.62] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [03:51] milosevic: please turn off your ... argh, he left :) === jenda_ [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === MagicFab [n=magicfab@192.206.28.62] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === mindspin [n=mindspin@p54B27E44.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === poningru [n=poningru@ip70-171-62-28.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tomveens [n=tomveens@ztn-c-1566b.adsl.wanadoo.nl] has left #ubuntu-marketing [] === tomveens [n=tomveens@ztn-c-1566b.adsl.wanadoo.nl] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === matid [n=matid@ubuntu/member/matid] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [07:23] jenda; where is the wiki for the powered by stickers?

[07:25] who made the other powered by stickers? [07:25] the Kubuntu ones [07:25] and what-not [07:25] I did. [07:25] I made them. [07:26] and they dont have a wiki page?

[12:03] cbx33: not at all ;) [12:03] :) [12:03] popey: agreed [12:03] In that case I understand why jono notified me :) [12:04] A uk/european based channel for selling merchandise would be great for us over here [12:04] need to do some sums really [12:04] popey, ++ [12:04] it's all just floaty ideas at the moment [12:04] I'm working on creating a website that'd encourage people to create DIY material themselves and sell it out to the community. The site would also serve as a portal for the info at hand [12:05] plus if it's a little more bespoke then it can be less bland/generic than cafepress [12:05] and people might be more inclined to buy more stuff [12:05] (which is good) [12:05] And, in order to prove how entirely possible this is, I created a batch of 1000 Ubuntu stickers, now have several hundred more from MenZa and am working on posters. [12:05] popey, like an ubuntu thinkgeek ;) [12:05] ok [12:05] user submitted designs would also be neat [12:05] yeah, I saw your poster, like it [12:06] honestly, I think we will have _only_ user submitted designs :) [12:06] well there's the generic stuff [12:06] that's the way the FLOSS world works ;) [12:06] ok, true [12:06] ubuntu / kubuntu / edubuntu logos on t-shirts/mouse mats etc [12:06] which some people like [12:06] but still there has to be someone to create+print that out. [12:06] but yeah, different stuff is good
